Be honest please


Do you look down on people that participate on audio websites and brag about dumpster diving to find audio gear or finding gear at the Salvation Army?

You can look down on me. I really don't care. My last find was a Masterwork tube receiver from the early 60's. Paid $75. I put a lot of time and money into the restoration. And YES, I had a very reputable tech go through it when I was done and he did fix a couple of little things.
Now, I have a vintage piece that I use all of the time and it sounds amazing. I've put it next to extremely expensive gear that I can't afford (or wouldn't buy) and it really holds it's own.
Would I trade it for a pair of Atmasphere monoblocks? I'm not stupid!

No...I don't even look down on my friends bragging about their Bose system.
Bill k,

I can't stand when those vintage guys boast how great the receivers were from the 70's. I owned some of those receivers as a kid and I can tell you they don't hold a candle to what they are making nowadays.
